I've not been feeling well and my new medications makes me very sleepy as in staying in bed/sofa until lunchtime!
I was really good today and made myself get up at 9am to take Will to Hatton. We got there nice and early and Will got to play on the new JCB ride for ages before anyone else arrived.

I've been baking again!I saw my husband's mustang transformer and thought it would be good to copy. A work mate is leaving and wanted to make a car cake (my first one) and I'm really pleased with it.I hope they like it at work*Update* My son saw the cake this morning and told me it didn't match so added the back red lights and the wing (more images on flickr)
